Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 2:58 pm Yes I agree with @john that while the engravers initials seem to be missing, the dies used to strike this coin were not so overpolished that the roof is completely untethered to the rest of the Lincoln Memorial.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 12:25 pm Typical extreme die polishing. Even the statue (sub devices) are weakened. Just a die event. The die was normal when it started out. Polishing/die rescue weaken the devices on this die as it aged. Report this Post to the Staff
